Stand Up For Love (2005 World Children?s Day Anthem)

There are times I find it hard to sleep at nightWe are living through such troubled timesAnd every child that reaches out for someone to holdFor one moment they become my ownAnd how can I pretend that I don't know what's going onWhen every second with every minute another soul is gone

And I believe that in my life I will seeAn end to hopelessness or giving up of sufferingIf we all stand together this one timeThen no one will get left behindStand up for lifeStand up and hear me singStand up for love

I'm inspired and hopeful each and every dayThat's how I know that things are gonna changeSo how can I pretend that I don't know what's going onWhen every second with every minute another soul is gone

And I believe that in my life I will seeAn end to hopelessness of giving up of sufferingIf we all stand together this one timeThen no one will get left behindStand up for lifeStand up for love

And it all starts right here and it starts right nowOne person stand up there and the rest will followFor all the forgotten, for all the unlovedI'm gonna sing this song

And I believe that in my life I will seeAn end to hopelessness of giving up of sufferingIf we all stand together this one timeThen no one will get left behindStand up for lifeStand up and singStand up for loveFor loveFor love
